PLAY TEST PROGRAM EXPANDS FOR
URU: AGES BEYOND MYST



SAN FRANCISCO - AUGUST 20, 2003 - Ubi Soft Entertainment, one of the world's
largest videogame publishers, and Cyan Worlds, Inc., developers of the
legendary video games MYST® and Riven™, today announced they have
expanded the play test program for the upcoming title,
Uru™: Ages Beyond Myst® for the PC in conjunction with the unveiling of a
new community-focused web site, found at www.urulive.com.

"As we enter the final stage of the game's development, we are excited to
invite interested fans to assist us in improving and shaping the evolving
world of Uru." said Rand Miller, founder and CEO Cyan Worlds, Inc.

Play testers are invited to become among the first to experience the
deepest, and most compelling Myst storyline to date as they participate in a
modern day exploration and restoration of the ancient D'ni civilization. Uru
(pronounced Oo-roo) includes a compelling single-player offline adventure in
addition to an expansive persistent online experience, Uru Live.

Play testers will experience both the single player game and Uru Live.
Candidates will need a PC with a broadband internet connection (see specs
for minimum requirements below) and must visit www.urulive.com to sign up.

UruLive.com will be an active and ongoing gathering place for Uru fans to
gain information about the game, meet other fans of the Myst series,
interact with the developers at Cyan Worlds, and unravel the mysteries
discovered during the live exploration of D'ni.

"Uru is a technological step forward for the Myst series enabling us to
eclipse the beauty, grandeur, and mind-challenging elements of previous
titles. Plus, with the option to join a constantly updated online universe,
the adventure never has to end," said Rand Miller, founder of Cyan Worlds.

Uru is the latest chapter in the MYST series - one of the most widely
recognized game brands in history, with more than 12 million units sold
worldwide. Uru is scheduled to launch in November, 2003 at the
manufacturer's suggested retail price of $49.99.

URU: BACKGROUND

The story of the D'ni (pronounced dunny) civilization began when they
established their underground empire on Earth some 10,000 years ago. The
D'ni practiced a technology called the "Art of Writing" to create links to
incredible alternate worlds of fantastic variety called "Ages," to which
they could travel through "Linking Books." During that time, a group of D'ni
traveled to the surface of what is now southern New Mexico, connecting our
world and theirs.

The D'ni people thrived for thousands of years, but later met with a great
catastrophe that ended their civilization. The vast underground cities of
the D'ni were left uninhabited and their Linking Book technology seemed lost
forever - until now.

PC users will be able to enjoy Uru: Ages Beyond Myst. Owners of the boxed
game will be able to try Uru Live through ubi.com, one of the world's top
ten gaming portals. Pricing and other details for Uru Live will be announced
at a later date. For more information about the game visit

Implica esta nota de prensa que el noviembre de este año podamos jugar a URU totalmente en castellano?? Que os parece!?

[CoolWind]

El hecho de que en la nota de prensa española hayan puesto el precio en €uros puede ser buena señal, también lo es el hecho de que no se cite ningún país en particular, así que...

Lo que no entiendo es por qué han eliminado la parte de "URU Background" y los requerimientos técnicos del juego.
